    Wastelands MP3

    Did you use any kind of compression on your vocals? I just listned one time to get a first impression and the inconsistant level of the vocals kind of stuck out. Everything else sounded real clean, a little to clean for me, but pretty good. Anymore tunes? Check mine out if you get a chance.

    Sublime remix

    This is a mix of several Sublime song parts along with a horn line recreated on guitar by me. Nothing really fancy, just a little something for fellow Sublime fans out there. Check it out .... (2.521 megs) sublimix ray734@earthlink.net

    matching up tracks on a computer???

    Here's a few tips... 1. Lay down a (scratch?) drum track first and record subsequent tracks while playing that back. Or use an external metronome, drum machine click track, etc. This ensures that all your files are recorded at the same speed. 2. With very little practice, you can use your...

    A brief introduction...and...New home studio needs advice (long)

    I have a friend who has been doing exactly what you're talking about and he uses some high end Roland sequencers with great results. A guitarist myself, I use a Johnson Millenium (basically a Digitech processor in a 100wt stereo tube amp) that is made just for this type of 'studio' work. I don't...

    Frequency ranges and notch eq-ing

    Thanks a million sonusman. I will most graciously accept and put to practice your info and, by the way, you're right, I'm not worthy! I have done some fairly extensive internet searching for the instrument specific frequency ranges and have only found ranges for orchestral instruments and some...

    Frequency ranges and notch eq-ing

    I am looking for data concerning the common frequency ranges of instruments. I am also interested in the elusive sweet spots used when eq-ing. I'm guessing that you can notch out portions of say a guitar-bass-drums mix to create room for the vocals, etc, but I don't know the freq ranges to use...

    Mixing down for that stereo sound

    Try adding something that moves back and forth through the stereo field. It doesn't have to be a main instrument line, maybe just a quietly mixed copy (flanged, reverbed, etc.) of one. Keep it fairly close to center when panning and mixed way back unless you want a really excessive result. For...

    Clicks and Pops in Digital Audio tracks

    Gee, I wish I had all that fancy stuff... I would start with the source of the click. 1) Was it created by whatever source you were recording? If so, I would try to remedy the situation externally. 2) Did you get a clean recorded track that eventually developed a/some click(s) seemingly from...

    The 3 E's(Easily,Economically and Effectively)

    I am the low-fi kid, the anti-tech, and general practitioner of voodoo logic. Among other things, I record my 100 watt Johnson Millenium (guitar ?) amp from speaker out DIRECTLY into my Dell's line in. I am not going to pretend that this is at all safe but it is possible. No matter what my...
